Huawei GS32X1 300GB capacity; 15,000 RPM SAS interface; HLR9820 chassis storage module HDD

The Huawei GS32X1 is a 300GB 15,000 RPM SAS hard disk drive used as a storage module in the Huawei HLR9820 core network platform (also documented as the OSTA 2.0 IMS core). The drive provides local storage for subscriber and system data on the HLR9820 chassis, and is supplied as a direct like-for-like replacement or spare for operators maintaining existing HLR9820 deployments rather than migrating to a newer core platform. As a 15K RPM SAS drive it is built for the higher duty cycle and lower latency that carrier-grade core network storage requires, compared with a standard enterprise SATA drive. Huawei used SAS drives of this class across several of its core-network and OptiX transmission chassis during this generation of hardware, so this part is stocked specifically against the HLR9820 designation rather than as a generic server drive. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies this drive tested and ready to deploy – get in touch to confirm stock and compatibility with your HLR9820 chassis.
